Happy Birthday !

A birthday present we have already received, because starting with this edition we finally show the long overdue new mushroom logo. Our thanks here go to the creator Nico Psyart from France.

Another present we have for our readers, because for subscribers, with this edition and after five years break, you will have a new Trancers Guide To The Galaxy coming to your door. This Trance travel guide wants to be your devoted companion during all your explorations of foreign and friendly Trance cultures. The Trancers Guide features 35 country profiles of the most important Trance nations worldwide and keeps you posted about the state of Trance in these countries. If you are no mushroom subscriber you can find the Trancers Guide in our online-shop www.mushroommagazine.com/shop, grab it at your local shop (have a look in at the magazine‘s shopguide), or wait until an area agent will bring the Trancers Guide to your favourite party.

Also, one further present is about to be unwrapped. After more than 10 years we are shortly folding mushroom-online.com and start a freshly designed mushroom-magazine.com with modern functionalities. In order that you receive proper information like us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/mushroommagazine But now, have lots of fun reading. This magazine is so very stuffed with information about so many festivals, that we had to shorten some columns. We will make good for those in the next edition, because the upcoming July/August/September summer edition will be primarily dedicated to the artists and labels of our scene and will be distributed at the big festivals as for example OZORA, Summer Never Ends, Freedom Festival, and mand many more. If you want your promotion to be published in this edition please contact us.

Until then, I wish you an unforgettable start into the summer and maybe best party of your life.

Mat Mushroom & Crew

Herzlichen Glückwunsch... können wir uns selber wünschen, denn im Mai ist Dein mushroom magazine 19 Jahre alt geworden und steuert nun ganz gewaltig auf die große Jubiläumsparty im nächsten Jahr zu. Ein Geburtstagsgeschenk hatten wir auch, denn ab dieser Ausgabe gibt‘s endlich das längst überfällige neue mushroom Logo.

Ein weiteres Geschenk gibt‘s für unsere Leser, denn für unsere Abonnenten flattert mit dieser Ausgabe nach fünfjähriger Pause wieder ein Trancers Guide To The Galaxy ins Haus. Der Trancers Guide wartet mit 35 Länderprofilen der weltweit wichtigsten Trancenationen auf und sagt Dir, wo was los ist. Falls Du kein mushroom Abonnent bist, kannst Du Dir den Trancers Guide z.B. unter www.mushroom-magazine.com/ shop besorgen oder ihn in einem lokalen Shop bzw. einer Party abgreifen – wenn Du Glück hast :-) Aber nun viel Spaß beim Lesen.

Dieses Heft ist so dermaßen vollgestopft mit vielen Festival Infos, das wir einige Rubriken kürzen mussten. Diese holen wir aber in der nächsten Ausgabe nach, denn die kommende Juli/August/September Sommerausgabe ist dann größtenteils den Artists und Labels unserer Szene gewidmet.

Bis dahin wünsche ich Dir einen unvergesslichen Start in den Sommer!

FESTIVAL SPECIAL

On the road again Useful equipment, gimmicks and knowledge for the modern Trance nomad

Travelling is at least as characteristic for Psytrance as fluorescent paintings and hypnotic electronic music. In fact there are few if any other scenes where people frequently travel thousands of miles just to meet their international fellows for an open air.

Now, during summer, many Trance freaks live a real nomadic lifestyle, hopping from one festival field to the next. And quite a few have already plans for a winter trip to Asia, for instance. “Life is a book and those who do not travel read only one page”, as the saying goes! But it’s not always easy reading…

In this unusual lead article we want to share with you some ideas, inspirations and tips how to arrange your modern nomadic adventures as convenient as possible.

Festival gadgets Solar Charger

Calls, apps, photos, videos... the mobile phone has long become an essential festival buddy.

The more important to keep your personal cybernetic interface charged with energy. Solar panels are not only ecofriendly, but probably also the easiest way to provide energy on any remote festival field.

Available with countless design features.

Solar-Ladegerät Anrufe, Apps, Videos, Fotos… das Mobiltelefon ist schon längst ein essentieller Festivalbegleiter geworden. Umso wichtiger, es ständig unter Strom zu halten. Genau den produzieren kompakte Solar-Ladegeräte.

Sie sind nicht nur eine umweltfreundliche, sondern vermutlich die einfachste Möglichkeit, auf einem Festivalacker Ladestrom zu bekommen.

Erhältlich in vielen Ausführungen und Preisklassen.

FESTIVAL SPECIAL BioLite CampStove Ein stylisches, tragbares Öfchen, das es dir erlaubt mit Hölzchen, Tannenzapfen, Pellets oder sonstigem Biomaterial zu kochen. Unspektakulär? Nun, warte bis du den USB Anschluss entdeckst. Das kleine Ding erzeugt nämlich auch Strom. So kannst du dich am prasselnden Feuer erfreuen, während dein Mobiltelefon geladen wird.

BioLite Wood Burning CampStove A stylish, portable stove which allows you to cook water or meals using sticks, pine cones, pellets or any other biomass. No big deal?

Well, additionally this little outdoor gadget is producing electric energy and has a USB port. So while you enjoy the crackling warmth of the fire your smartphone might enjoy a recharge.

GSI DuKJug water bottle

What are the 2 most important things you need to survive in any given environment? The answer: Water and duct tape, also known as gaffer tape. This bottle allows you to carry both. You can remove the rubber band around its “waist” and store conveniently up to 2 metres of duct tape, the universal answer to all technical problems.

GSI DuKJug Wasserflasche Was sind die zwei wichtigsten Dinge, um in freier Wildbahn zu überleben? Wasser und Gaffertape. Mithilfe dieser Flasche hast du beides stets griffbereit. Das Gummiband um die „Taille“ kann nämlich entfernt werden, um stattdessen 2 Meter Gaffertape um das Behältnis zu wickeln.

Did you know…

Wusstest du…

… that it is practically impossible to pushstart a car with a completely empty battery? This might be the case if you forgot to switch off the headlights during the night, for instance. If not a thing happens when you turn the ignition, you will need jumper cables. If there still is a feeble noise from the motor, push-starting might work.

…dass es praktisch unmöglich ist, ein Auto durch Schieben wieder zum Laufen zu kriegen, dessen Batterie komplett entladen ist? Das passiert z.B. wenn du über Nacht vergessen hast, die Scheinwerfer auszuschalten. Wenn sich beim Drehen des Zündschlüssels rein gar nichts tut, brauchst du ein Starterkabel und ein anderes Auto. Sollte es noch ein stotterndes Geräusch aus dem Motorraum geben, lohnt sich das Anschieben.

… that frequently disinfecting your hands is a very efficient way to avoid any kind of sickness? Especially at festivals, where water for washing your hands might not always be available, it is a good idea to carry a small spray bottle filled with 70% alcohol or any other disinfectant.

... dass die regelmäßige Desinfektion deiner Hände sehr effektiv vor vielen Krankheiten schützt? Gerade auf Festivals, wo nicht immer die Gelegenheit besteht, sich die Hände zu waschen, ist es daher eine gute Idee immer eine kleine Sprühflasche mit 70%igem Alkohol oder anderem Desinfektionsmittel dabei zu haben.

FESTIVAL SPECIAL

Festival Apps Shazam

Mesmerised by a particular track but you had not enough drinks yet to storm the stage and ask the DJ what it is?

This is where Shazam comes into play. This app checks the current sound against a huge database, providing the artist and the name of the title. Available for BlackBerry, iPhone, Android.

St John Ambulance First Aid

IN Du bist begeistert von dem Track, der da gerade läuft, aber noch nicht betrunken genug, um die Bühne zu stürmen und den DJ zu fragen, was er gerade spielt? An dieser Stelle ist Shazam ziemlich praktisch.

Die App vergleicht den Sound mit einer großen Datenbank und liefert dir anschließend den Interpreten und Titel.

Verfügbar für BlackBerry, iPhone, Android.

St John Ambulance First Aid

In case of sickness or emergency, this app leads you through a provisional diagnosis and gives you instructions for first aid.

Of course no substitute for professional medical care, but quite handy anyway.

Das Rote Kreuz, die Malteser und der ArbeiterSamariter-Bund bieten kostenlose Apps an, die dir im Notfall eine provisorische Diagnose stellen und dich durch die nötigen Erste Hilfe-Maßnahmen leiten.

Kein Ersatz für professionelle ärztliche Hilfe, aber trotzdem praktisch. Verfügbar für iPhone und Android.

GoCarShare

GoCarShare

Travelling to and, even more so, leaving from a festival can easily become a drama since cars are packed, people decided not to go, etc. This app helps you to find people going from anywhere to somewhere.

Available for iPhone.

Die Reise zu einem Festival kann manchmal zum Drama werden.

Die Abreise noch viel häufiger.

Autos sind plötzlich voll, Fahrer wollen nicht fahren, usw. Diese App hilft dir, Mitfahrgelegenheit von A nach B zu kommen.

Verfügbar für‘s iPhone.

Arriving via public transport.

Not as comfortable as by car, but safer, more social and more eco-aware. Carpooling is a nice alternative.

Hats. Cowboy style, sunhelmet, beer can holder, tricone, top hat... 2013 is the year of the mad hatters!

Support the local business.

Preferably small shops, but even by going shopping in local discounters you support the people of the region - and the reputation of the festival.

OUT Artists doing heart shapes with their hands. Sure, we all love one another… but this is just unbearably cheesy and mainstream.

Ballgames on the dance floor forcing random party folks to participate. Also known as Oddball Dodgeball.

Holding up “like thumb” signs.

If you ain’t got no other way to express you feelings, you should probably see a shrink.

Holding up “no more Minimal” signs. Instead: Go to the Chillout. Sulk. Prepare an outraged forum comment. Return to the dance floor when the music has changed.

Open Air Packing list The purpose of this packing list is to never again forget anything important when going to an open air festival or outdoor party which could last several days.

Some of these things could ease the festival life dramatically. Feel free to send additions to: Richard Cattien rc.foreign@gmx.net.

GEMA

Thema GEMA

Der VR-Ö Tarif

VR-Ö. An diesen Buchstaben kristallisiert sich aktuell die öffentliche Kritik. Sie stehen für einen neuen Tarif, den DJs für die Vervielfältigung von Musik zwecks öffentlicher Aufführung zahlen müssen.

Warum die GEMA diesen Tarif bereits zum 01. April eingeführt hat, daraus macht sie keinen Hehl: „Der Zuschlag, den Veranstalter, Diskotheken- und Clubbetreiber bislang als sogenannten LaptopZuschlag für die Wiedergabe von vervielfältigten bzw. kopierten Musikwerken bezahlt haben, wird durch den Tarif VR-Ö ersetzt“, heißt es auf der Webseite.

Für jeden Musiktitel, der für die öffentliche Aufführung kopiert wird, fallen 13 Cent an. Egal, ob er letztendlich gespielt wird oder nicht. Du kaufst einen Trackl im Netz und brennst ihn auf CD? Gebührenpflichtig. Du kopierst einen Titel vom Heimrechner auf deinen Aufleg-Laptop oder einen USB-Stick? Gebührenpflichtig.

Du machst ein Backup deiner digitalen Plattenkiste? Gebührenpflichtig. Für alle Titel, die vor dem 01. April kopiert wurden, gibt es eine Pauschale in Höhe von 125 Euro. Hier eine erste Fragwürdigkeit: Vor dem 01. April wurde doch seitens der Clubs

bezahlt...? Auch für Backups gibt es eine 125 Euro Pauschale.

Außerdem günstigere Pakete mit 500 Lizenzen. Verschieben (ausschneiden & einfügen) ist zwar erlaubt, aber nur innerhalb einer Festplatte, eines USB-Sticks, etc. Im großen und ganzen heißt das: Wer die Musik dort speichert, von wo er sie auch abspielt, wer gekaufte CDs oder Vinyls auflegt, muss keinen VR-Ö dafür bezahlen.

Viele Fragen tauchen auf, und viele davon sind nach wie vor unklar. In der Tat wurde der VR-Ö Vertrag der GEMA in den letzten Wochen immer wieder aktualisiert. Wie soll das ganze z.B. kontrolliert werden? LaptopDurchsuchungen wird es nicht geben. Playlists, eine sehr sinnvolle und faire Möglichkeit um die echten Urheber zu unterstützen, werden weiterhin abgelehnt.

Das eigentliche Kernproblem ist aber ein anderes, und ein altes.

Die Grundidee der GEMA ist gut: Wer die Musik anderer Leute spielt und damit Geld verdient, soll ein Stück vom Kuchen an den Urheber abgeben. Leider sehen aber selbst die meistgespielten Künstler der Psytrance Szene keinen einzigen Cent – Obwohl

von hier durchaus Geld an die GEMA fließt.

Auf Facebook bildet sich übrigens gerade ein neuer DJ-Verein: facebook.com/groups/GermanDJC Roberdo Raval German DJs now have to pay 13 cent to the national royalty agency for every title which they copy from one data medium to another. It surely is a good idea that those who make money playing the music of others should give back part of their revenues. However, even the most-played German Psytrance producers do not receive one penny - though a considerable amount of fees is paid by the Psytrance scene. A major deficit in this system.

Die drastische Erhöhung jener Gebühren, welche die GEMA von Clubs und Bars für die öffentliche Aufführung von Musik einfordert, ist vorerst vom Tisch. Die Tarifreform aber nicht. Nun betrifft sie eine neue Personengruppe: DJs.

COLUMN

Roberdo asks:

Back To The future?

Today I wanna ponder on an old subject. Literally old - I’ll write a little about oldschool sound.

The phenomenon can be watched especially at big festivals. Pioneers of the scene who have been producing since ages present a “special retro set” of their greatest hits. Even if this term does not appear on the line-up, it is quite evident that many of the biggest names have… let‘s say: A rather homogenous production style. When I interviewed a label owner some time ago, he said: “We feel the need to go back in order to proceed to the future.”

Is it just another chapter of that story about „the good old days“? Is oldschool sound just a sentimental memory of a time when drugs, sex, simply everything used to be better? At least memories seem to be an interesting cue. However, they aren’t always sentimental – just the

opposite. Many philosophers agree: Memories of positive experiences are one of the most important sources of happiness. That moment of uttermost ecstasy you experience on the dance floor – isn’t it a raw diamond until the moment you remember it, the moment it is refined?

Does oldschool sound remind us of those greatest moments – does it create new greatest moments at the same time? A self-oscillating mechanism?

It’s not quite that easy. Obviously there are many people who are still pretty new on the scene but who enjoy the retro sound anyway.

This reminds me of another very interesting statement I recently heard in an interview with a popular artist: “I think my sound is a classic, timeless sound that many

pic: Vuuv Experience (c) Udo Herzog

people will recognise as having archetypal elements of Trance from the older days up to the modern era.”

Here it is again, that selfoscillating happiness. Is there something like an algorithm in Trance music that makes us smile inevitably, just like a reflex – independent of past, present or future?

You’ll get the answer next weekend - Right in the middle of the dance floor.

Roberdo fragt sich:

Zurück in die Zukunft?

Heute möchte ich über ein altes Thema sinnieren. Buchstäblich alt - denn es soll um Oldschool-Sound gehen.

Eindruck, wir müssen zurück in die Vergangenheit, um in die Zukunft zu kommen.“

Besonders auf großen Festivals lässt sich das Phänomen beobachten. Produzenten-Pioniere, die schon seit Jahr und Tag in der Szene aktiv sind, geben ein „Retro Set“ ihrer alten Hits zum Besten. Und selbst wenn das ganze nicht immer explizit so bezeichnet wird fällt doch auf, dass viele der ältesten Namen... sagen wir mal: Einen sehr homogenen Produktionsstil verfolgen. Im Interview mit einem Label-Betreiber hörte ich neulich: „Wir haben den

Lässt sich das alles als Unterkategorie von „Früher war alles besser“ verbuchen? Ist Oldschool-Sound die sentimentale Erinnerung an eine Zeit, in der die Drogen, der Sex, einfach alles besser war? Erinnerung ist zumindest ein interessantes Stichwort. Aber sie muss nicht sentimental sein, ganz im Gegenteil. Erinnerungen an positive Erlebnisse sind eine der wichtigsten Quellen für Glück, so die Meinung vieler Philosophen. Jener Moment höchster Ekstase auf der Tanzfläche – wird er nicht erst in unserer Erinnerung vergoldet?

Erinnert uns Oldschool-Sound an diese großartigen Momente – und schafft er gleichzeitig süße, neue Erinnerungen?

Selbstoszillierend quasi?

Ganz so einfach ist es wohl nicht. Denn auch Leute, die erst seit ein paar Jahren in der Szene sind, haben viel Spaß an Retro-Sound. Ein sehr interessantes Statement begegnete mir kürzlich in einem anderen Interview. Da sagte ein ziemlich angesagter Künstler: „Ich denke mein Sound ist klassisch, zeitlos und viele Leute erkennen darin archetypische Elemente von Trance – von den alten Tagen bis hinein in die Neuzeit.“ Da ist sie wieder, jene selbstoszillierende Glückseeligkeit. Gibt es in der Trance Musik einen akustischen Algorithmus, der uns unwillkürlich ein dickes Grinsen auf die Backen zaubert – unabhängig von Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft?

Die Antwort kriegst du nächstes Wochenende - Mitten auf der Tanzfläche.

CELLOTAGER

Cellotager

How Cellotager bewitched a swearing bigmouth story & pictures: Andrey Balandin http://balandin.gallery.ru

Once upon a time there was a Cellotager. At the top of a mountain in the Urals he led his simple life. During the day

he slept in a hammock below two synthetics quilts and during the night he looked at the stars and other celestial bodies while pondering about the meaning of life. But then another Cellotager from a neighbouring white-topped mountain felt like visiting him.

So they sat on the top, each applied the magic hammer to their heads and enjoyed life by looking at the infinite universe. In this manner, in the evening and in the night they spent their time. But then the other Cellotager started to misuse his hospitality, knocked more often and stronger on its head, and in such a hard manner that it really wasn‘t, it just wasn‘t acceptable and he also began swearing. Our well-mannered Cellotager was fed up and therefore, he spoke his magic spell and now, instead of swearing, his neighbour blew very large air bubbles out of his mouth, almost transparent and silver coloured of metallised latex.

And since Cellotagers inhale oxygen while exhaling helium the air bubbles flew immediately high up and eluded a fantastic, spooky beautiful silver light which naĂŻve inhabitants of the next habitations of the Urals mistook for UFOs. Andrey Balandin

CELLOTAGER

Cellotager

Wie Cellotager ein fluchendes Großmaul verzauberte Es war einmal ein Cellotager.

Auf der Spitze eines Berges im Ural lebte er einfach so vor sich hin. Am Tage schlief er in einer Hängematte unter zwei Synthetikdecken. In der Nacht betrachtete er die Sterne und andere Himmelskörper und philosophierte dabei über den Sinn des Lebens. Aber dann kam ein anderes Cellotagerchen von einem benachbarten, uralischen weißbegipfelten Berg auf den Geschmack ihn zu besuchen. Sie saßen also auf dem Gipfel, klopften

sich nacheinander mit dem magischen Hammer auf den Kopf und genossen das Leben, indem sie das unendliche Weltall betrachteten. So verbrachten sie abends und nachts ihre Zeit. Doch dann fing der benachbarte Cellotager an, die Gastfreundschaft zu missbrauchen, sich immer häufiger und stärker auf die Birne zu klopfen, so sehr, dass es „also gar nicht“ ging, und begann dabei zu fluchen. Unser gut erzogener Cellotager hatte es satt, und so sprach er seinen

Zauberspruch und anstatt zu fluchen, pustete sein Nachbar riesige Luftblasen aus dem Mund, halbdurchsichtig und silberfarben, aus metallisiertem Latex. Und da Cellotager Sauerstoff ein-und Helium ausatmen, flogen die Luftblasen sofort hoch und verströmten dabei ein fantastisches, unheimlich schönes, silbernes Licht, das naive Bewohner benachbarter Uraler Siedlungen mit UFOs verwechselten.

Kaleidoscope

Miro Moric aka Sketch Inc. Cover Artist A chat with a highly productive mind from the visual side of the scene.

Tell us about your workflow!

Usually the artwork materialises in front of my inner eye. Additionally, I do some sketches to check the composition of the elements. Since 20 years my favourite choice for the execution of my ideas is CGI [Computer Generated Imagery]. Any vector-, bitmap- or 3D-based software is my tool!

What do you do when the work ain‘t flowing?

I am using different techniques every time the idea flow gets stuck. I change my point of view or try to get inspired by music or pictures. But a state of inspiration can also be forced by doing something that has to do with flowing and liquid things, for example by simply taking a bath.

What is the first work you are really proud of?

The former Natraj Temple, a Munich based Psytrance club, had relied on my artwork for more than 7 years. Since 1995 I have done hundreds of flyers, posters and compilations for the Natraj family.

High quality artwork and continuity were always associated with the name Natraj Temple.

Are you working exclusively for the psychedelic scene?

Currently I am doing almost the complete artwork for different venues, organisers and labels. Transylvania Calling, Transition Festival, Schmox Family, Harmonia Records and Headroom Productions are some members of the Psy scene I am working for right now. In the past artists like Gabriel le Mar, Human Blue, Entheogenic and many others had their covers designed

by Sketch Inc. My daily life profession is creative art director at a big German advertising agency, where I have been working for 15 years right now.

Is it true that you are also part of the graffiti scene?

Yes, my roots and my fascination for design reach

back to the 80s, when I used to be a part of the early Munich graffiti scene. The only thing I regret is that I never continued to do big-format pictures like in graffiti, like doing huge backdrops for Psytrance parties, but maybe in the future!

Any other future projects?

I do have a new project focused on producing music. PsyBuddy brings all the experience of 20 years of Psytrance to an acoustic expression. facebook.com/SketchInc Interview: Roberdo Raval Wenn wir über die visuelle Erscheinung der Szene reden, kommen wir an der Arbeit von Miro Moric aka Sketch Inc. nicht vorbei. Er hat zahllose Albumcover und Flyer designt und ist aktuell für die Optik diverser Festivals, Clubs und Labels verantwortlich.

Seine kreativen Wurzeln hat er in der Münchner Graffiti-Szene der 80er, seit zwei Jahrzehnten hat er sich auf rechnergestütztes Arbeiten spezialisiert.

Neuerdings ist Miro übrigens auch zu hören, unter seinem Produzenten-Synonym PsyBuddy nämlich.

Chill News served by Roberdo Raval Bonobo did it again. His latest album The North Borders is a timeless masterpiece of laid-back grooves- incredibly musical, incredibly versatile, incredibly catchy. Clearly one of the highlights 2013!

If you fancy heady, multilayered sound collages full of intricate psychoacoustics you should give a listen to the new Amos album out on Ovnimoon. Barely any beats, yet lots and lots of space. The title is agenda-setting: Lost In Sound.

A young Russian band named I Am Waiting For You Last Summer combines epic Post Rock with Dubstep, Breaks, Drum’n‘Bass and other electronic rhythms. A very intriguing mixture!

Blue Tunes released an extended reissue of Koan’s When The Silence Is Speaking. The full original album is complemented by another CD, presenting 9 pleasantly progressive, inspiring, sometimes even danceable re-interpretations of the original tracks.

Tomorrow’s Harvest is the first Boards of Canada album in 8 years. The intoxicating deepness of analogue sound synthesis meets electric guitars, cinematic instrumentations and dynamic drum grooves. A highly promising release scheduled for 10th June on Warp.

On his new album, Gaudi explores the acoustic space In Between Times. A great variety of styles and moods, shifting between heavy Dub, stimulating percussions, and weightless pad textures. Out on Six Degrees.

The One Dub Connection is back with Silent Revolt, their 2nd album on Diversified Music. Not exactly silent, but full of heavy beats ‘n basses, sitar chords, various quotes from the field of World Music and sunlit synthesizer entries.

BAM/FAM Records

For the sake of quality Asarualim and DJ Tschan will be familiar names for you party-goers out there.

Recently the guys started their own imprint: BAM and it’s up-tempo sublabel FAM. Tough times to start a new label.

Who are the go-getters doing so nevertheless?

Indeed it‘s tough, but we believe there still is a market for quality. Of course you don‘t start a venture like this to get rich. BAM/ FAM are our two A&R‘s, Dustin Henze (BAM), Jan Steinert (FAM) and myself, Thomas David. Dustin and I are actually the guys behind Asarualim and Jan is maybe better known as DJ Tschan.

Do you think there still is a market for CDs? I think CDs still have a market, mainly collectors and DJs who still like to have something in their hands. So we are doing all of our albums on CD, a very limited number each. Mainly to cater those two groups, and for promotion. Everything is also released digital, EPs only digital. We are trying to get out 1 or 2 releases per month and mainly rely on digital promotion. There is a plan to expand the merchandising, but one step at a time.

What has been the most difficult task while setting up your label?

We‘ve been in the scene very long but never published ourselves, so we had to get a grip on that part first which was a bit of an up and down. And we are still learning. It also took a while to find our own sound in terms of mastering which I think we have finally cracked with the last releases.

What has been most fun while setting up your label?

Getting together the team and the artists around it. We met great people along the way and have seen some great support from people who stood behind us and believed in us from the beginning. As we are mostly working with newcomers it‘s nice to see how the guys have improved during the production process.

What’s crackin music-wise?

Eleven releases are out on various online platforms. Our first CD release will come in a few weeks, it will be Blind Fury‘s debut LP on FAM. This will be followed by Asarualim‘s next album on BAM. In between we will have a few more EPs as download-only.

Asarualim und DJ Tschan werden dem einen oder der anderen sicher ein Begriff sein. Vor kurzem gingen die Jungs mit dem eigenen Label BAM an den Start, inklusive Hochgeschwindigkeits-Sublabel FAM. Da sie ja schon eine ganze Weile in der Szene aktiv sind und sich auch viel im Untergrund tummeln, darf man auf eine Reihe spannender musikalischer Neuentdeckungen gespannt sein.

Das erste CD-Release auf FAM kommt von Blind Fury, im August folgt auf BAM das neue Album von Asarualim.

Dazwischen natürlich noch eine Reihe digitaler EPs, wobei BAM/FAM durchweg den Ansatz „Spaß durch Qualität“ verfolgt, denn das Label ist ausdrücklich ein Leidenschafts- und kein Wirtschaftsprojekt.

Here we have novation again bringing some nice tasty analogue flavor to the table.

The already well known Bass Station back from the early nineties got a total makeover spiced up with some modern features all wrapped in a compact yet fully ergonomic 2 octave package ready to be tweaked. It‘s an analogue monosynth with 2 osc‘s and a sub oscillator. Full analogue effect section and an array of different filter types.

It‘s a bass synth alright...but capable for so much more with its arp/sequencer section, full analogue signal path, patch recall and midi implementation. I‘m really looking forward to get one of these sweet beasts in my studio. www.novationmusic.com

Ein Basssynthie, aber hallo und doch fähig für so viel mehr mit seinem ARP/Sequenzerbereich, vollem analogem Signalpfad, Patch Recall und Midi Anwendung.

Wir erleben eine Renaissance analoger Monosynthies.

Dieser ist von den üblichen Verdächtigen: MOOG ! Dieser Sub Phatty ist das Sub Bass Monster eurer Träume. Ein monophoner, analoger Monosynthie mit Suboszillatoren und Geräuschgenerator. Macht mehr Töne als nur Bass, obwohl wir alle MOOG Synthies für den vollen, fetten Bass, den sie so mühelos hinkriegen lieben. Als ob das nicht genügte, legen die MOOG Techniker noch ein paar Extras obendrauf.

Der Sub Phatty ist der erste analoge Synthie, der Moogs umformenden neuen Multidrive hat, bei niedrigen Einstellungen steuert Multidrive Wärme und Volumen hinzu, angetrieben, teilt es schreiendes Knurren aus, auf Resonanz, Wellenform und Oszillatorlevel reagierend.

Experimentiert mit der neuen Schaltung und erschliesst unentdeckte, lebendige analoge Tonwelten.

Moog Sub Phatty

I think we live in the renaissance of analogue monosynths. This one is from a usual suspect though.. MOOG ! The sub phatty is your sub bass monster you always wanted. A monophonic analogue monosynth with a sub oscillator and noise generator. It gives more tones than just bass tones but we all love MOOG synths for that deep round and phat bass they produce so effortlessly.

But like this was not enough MOOG engineers added some very sweet extras to the game...The Sub Phatty is the first analogue synth to feature Moog’s transformative new Multidrive section, at low settings Multidrive adds warmth and girth, but when pushed, it delivers a screaming snarl that is highly reactive to resonance, waveshape, and oscillator level. Experiment with this new circuit and unlock an undiscovered world of vivid analog tonalities. www.moogmusic.com

Korg MS20 Mini

I‘m sure most of you synths geeks know the legendary MS20 semi modular monosynth from Korg.

If you do and you always wanted to have one but the price and condition of the old analogue was putting you off...now it‘s your time. Korg finally put out the MS20 MINI a faithful recreation of the oldie in a smaller size but packing the same full analogue signal path and semi modular functionality. It sounds as you expect the original to sound, looks as the original, and packs the same functions as the original. www.korg.com

Bestimmt kennen Synthiegeeks den legendären MS20, den semimodularen Monosynthie von Korg. Falls ja, dann wolltet ihr stets einen haben, aber der Preis und Zustand des alten analogen haben euch abgeschreckt... aber jetzt ist eure Zeit. Korg schmeisst endlich den MS20 MINI auf den Markt, eine getreue Kopie des Oldies und obwohl kleiner mit dem selben, voll analogen Signalpfad und semimodularer Funktionalität. Klingt wie man es vom Original erwartet, sieht auch so aus und enthält die selben Funktionen. Schon für sich krass gut oder ein grosses Kompliment für euer existierendes modulares Setup. Ein Muss für alle modularen Freaks.

Traktor DJ App Music is tangible again Twelve years ago Traktor started to turn the world of djing upside down. Now the popular software embraces another revolutionary technology: The iPhone and the iPad. When Traktor was first introduced in 2001 it might have looked like a gimmicky thing. However, during the following years the advantages of digital djing became more and more obvious.

With the progression of technology these advantages eventually became superior, making Traktor an extremely popular tool among bedroom DJs and professionals alike.

Now Traktor is embracing a technology that made a huge impact itself during the past years: The iPhone and the iPad. Since Native Instruments has long become a leading figure in the field of digital djing and studio technology, the new Traktor App has everything it takes to turn the world of djing upside down once again.

Using Traktor on the iPhone or the iPad is an entirely new experience. It’s reminiscent of using a handheld video game device – in other words: It’s heaps of fun and very addictive. While the workflow is pretty much “playing around”, the features clearly provide a highly professional approach towards djing, including a multitude of well thought-out functionalities that have the signature quality of NI technology. A straightforward tutorial walks you through the vast realm of possibilities, a small but ingenious feature.

The multi-touch functionality of the iPad and the iPhone is completely different, yet similarly intimate and direct as playing classic vinyl. For instance, you can casually adjust the beat grid with a wipe of your finger if it is not 100% in sync. Working with cue points has never been more fun, you can even trigger single segments of the beat grid with your fingertips, just like playing a sampler or a keyboard.

Also the classic Traktor filter and the other effects are incredibly vivid when modulated on the touchscreen. DJing has indeed become a tangible issue again, definitely a quantum leap of technology! www. native-instruments.com

Traktor hat die DJ-Welt revolutioniert. Nun macht sich die beliebte Software eine Technologie zu eigen, die ebenfalls eine neue Epoche eingeläutet hat: Das iPhone und das iPad. Wenig überraschend: Die Traktor App ist nicht nur ein Spielzeug, sondern hat alle Funktionen um professionell genutzt zu werden. Nun gut, der ausgeklügelte Workflow ist in der Tat ähnlich spielerisch wie ein Gameboy. Auf einem Multi-Touchscreen aufzulegen fühlt sich einerseits komplett anders an als klassisches Vinyl, aber gleichzeitig fast genauso unvermittelt und direkt. Auflegen ist wieder eine greifbare Sache geworden – sieht ganz so aus, als hätte Native Instruments hier eine neue Revolution angezettelt!

Pioneer DDJ-WeGo Hochwertiger Einstieg ins digitale DJing Wenn es um DJ Equipment geht, gilt Pioneer als Maßstab in Sachen Qualität. Spannende Neuigkeiten also, dass es nun auch einen preiswerten Controller für Einsteiger gibt. Ich habe ihn testgeflogen.

Fühlt sich eindeutig nach Pioneer an. Das ist mein erster Eindruck als ich den DDJ-WeGo aus der Packung nehme. Wenn du schon mal an einem Gerät dieser Marke zugange warst, weißt du was ich meine: Die Potis, Fader, Knöpfe und Jog Wheels verhalten sich zu den Bewegungen meiner Hand wie das Schloss zum Schlüssel.

Gleichzeitig habe ich den Eindruck, dass ich schon groben Unfug anstellen müsste, um das Teil kaputt zu kriegen.

Cue Punkt setzten, einpitchen, mixen – all das fühlt sich an wie auf den klassischen CDJs und DJMs von Pioneer, an denen ich mich vornehmlich ausgetobt habe. Allein deshalb überzeugt der kompakte DDJ-WeGo. Natürlich kann er aber noch viel mehr. Zum Beispiel macht das Loopen mächtig Laune, weil der Beat immer wie Arsch auf dem Eimer sitzt, und weil man die Länge und Position der Endlosschleife elegant über einen Poti bedient. Auch die vielen Soundeffekte, die sich über das Jogwheel modulieren lassen, sind extrem spaßig und lassen sich spontan ganz wun-

derbar mit den Hot Cue Punkten kombinieren.

Das Teil blinkt in allen Farben des Regenbogens, so dass ich es bei Damenbesuch als Stimmungsleuchte benutzen kann. Spaß beiseite: Die auffällige Beleuchtung ist nicht nur Effekthascherei.

Pioneer hat sich ein paar clevere Features ausgedacht, um gerade Anfängern zu zeigen, wo der Beat lang läuft. Buchstäblich: Zum Beispiel leuchten die LEDs um die Jog Wheels umso heller, je perfekter die beiden Tracks synchron laufen. Ich habe den DDJ-WeGo mit der mitgelieferten VirtualDJ Software getestet, die noch viel mehr Funktionen bietet als diese Seite Platz zum

The DDJ-WeGo has the quality that makes Pioneer a major reference for all DJ equipment, but a price tag that belongs to the budget sector. A compelling, yet not the only reason why this plug-and-play controller is highly interesting for aspiring beginners. The DDJ-WeGo comes with some really smart features for newbies. For instance, the LED ring around the jog wheel provides optical information about how perfect the two tracks are in sync: The better, the brighter. The straightforward loop section and hot cue points provide exciting possibilities for real-time remixing. The DDJWeGo comes with VirtualDJ, but is also compatible with the iTunes portal Algoriddim djay.

Schreiben. Alternativ kann auch Algoriddim djay benutzt werden, um direkt aus der iTunes Mediathek zu mixen. Fazit: Für 299 Euro bekommen nicht nur Anfänger ein hochwertiges Gerät das durch Kompaktheit, Verarbeitung und Bedienspaß überzeugt. www.pioneer.de

Pioneer DJM-750

Mit dem Nachfolgemodell des DJM-700 setzt Pioneer einen neuen Standard für kleinere Clubs und Bars sowie ambitionierte Hobby-DJs. Die erste Neuheit nennt sich Boost FX. Wie dieser Name erahnen lässt, möbelt sie die eingebauten Effekte noch mal ordentlich auf. So bekommt beispielsweise der ohnehin schon sehr schöne Hoch-/Tiefpassfilter bei aktiviertem Boost FX zusätzlich ein Echo, dessen Parameter raffiniert an die Drehdynamik des Potis gekoppelt sind. Eine neue Klangsdimension des Schraubens quasi. Nicht nur aus diesem Grund ist der DJM-750 auch wirklich spannend für Liveacts. Das gute Stück verfügt nämlich über eine eingebaute USBSoundkarte mit 4 Stereokanälen und ist voll MIDIfähig. So kannst du den Mixer z.B. aus Ableton Live mit Audiospuren füttern, die du dann mit den verschiedenen Effekten in Echtzeit veredelst und mit den soliden Fadern und Potis mischst. Auch für rechnergestütztes Auflegen eröffnen sich spannende Möglichkeitshorizonte, und zwar wahlweise in schwarzem oder silbernem Gehäuse. www.pioneer.de

Reloop is out with a new fully digital dj mixer. It has all you expect from a club mixer but also packs some punch in terms of functionality. 4+1 Channels of full digital signal path. A vast array of high quality effects, a usb hub for the laptop djs that need extra usb ports, an upgradable firmware system to be always up to date with its digital functionality, direct access to effect modulation (trigger, LFO, time, pitch) via time bar buttons, 2 Independent beat counters among many other features. Solid work from reloop.

Hope to see it in the clubs soon.

37 Pioneer’s DJM-750 sets a new standard for small clubs, bars, hobby DJs… and probably even live acts, as the mixer comes with an internal 4-channel USB soundcard. Boost FX allows you to enter a new dimension of creative sound manipulation.

Available in black and silver.

25.06.2013 – Westfalenhallen, Dortmund Die neuste Hard- & Software, Workshops zu allen Bereichen der Musikbranche, sogar große Labels sind vor Ort. Frei zugänglich für jedermann, ohne Altersbeschränkung!

Ein entscheidender Grund für den buchstäblich vollen Erfolg des letzten Jahres ist sicherlich, dass die Organisatoren einen wichtigen Trend verstanden haben: Nämlich dass die Welt des DJing und die Welt des Producing zunehmend fusionieren. Vor diesem Hintergrund kann das DJ & Producer Meeting in der Dortmunder Westfalenhalle als Stelldichein der gesamten Branche bezeichnet werden, mit spektakulärer Vollständigkeit. Die Ausstellerliste ist im Vergleich zum letzten Jahr noch mal ordentlich gewachsen, diesmal sind praktisch alle relevanten Hersteller vertreten. Um ein paar Schmankerl herauszupicken: Pioneer reist mit einem ganzen Truck voller technischer Raffinesse an, Elektron & Teenage Engineering aus Schweden stellen ihre analogen Synthies vor und Jay Frog präsentiert in der Dunkelkammer den transparenten Tochscreen-Controller „Emulator“.

Neben der Möglichkeit die neuesten Produkte fürs Studio und die Bühne auszuprobieren bietet das DJ & Producer Meeting eine Vielzahl von Workshops. Einige davon Technik-bezogen, z.B. über die kreativen Möglichkeiten des DJing mit einem Controller. Andere zielen darauf ab, Neulingen erste Kenntnisse in allen Tätigkeits- und Fachbereichen der Musikbranche zu vermitteln und bereits fortgeschrittenen Künstlern und Talenten die Chance zu geben, ihre Fähigkeiten und Kompetenzen

The organisers of this technology fair have understood an important development: The ongoing fusion of the world of djing and the world of producing. So it’s quite a complete meeting of all relevant manufacturers, presenting the newest hard- and software for both stage and studio. Pioneer arrives with a truckload of gear, Elektron & Teenage Engineering present their analogue synthies, and you have the chance to see the transparent touchscreen controller “Emulator” in action.

Another very interesting aspect of the DJ & Producer Meeting are numerous workshops about technology, but also music distribution, promotion, etc. The fair is open to everyone, without any age restriction!

Studio One Workshop Part 3: Transform... with the J & B Project The increasing popularity of StudioOne has a simple reason: Rather than introducing exotic new features, PreSonus aims to make the workflow of their DAW as smooth and easy as possible.

Hamburg’s J & B Project is among the early adopters of StudioOne. Working as a duo, they are frequently facing a double rush of new ideas and things can get busy. The highly customizable drag & drop philosophy of StudioOne accommodates this situation just perfect. So does the Transform functionality which allows them to keep a maximum of CPU performance while at the same time being flexible and able to go back and make major or intricate changes in instrumentation.

Basically the Transform function is a mixdown that can be undone at any time. “We love virtual synthesizers. Unfortunately that often brought us to the performance limits of our computer in the past.

So we had to do a mixdown - which is a one-way procedure”, the J & B Project explains.

“In StudioOne, this problem is history thanks to the Transform function – it works for MIDI as well as audio tracks!”

Step 1

When we feel satisfied with a lead synth for instance, we transform it into an audio track.

Step 2

StudioOne keeps the MIDI notes and all the settings of the virtual synthesizer. However, it now only requires the economic performance of an audio file!

TECHNOLOGY

J&B Project

Step 3

We can now work on with this audio file, proceed with the composition.

Step 4

If we feel like doing some changes on that lead synth, we can transform it into a MIDI track plus a virtual instrument again, giving us back all the creative options without any loss.

Even though today’s computers provide lots of performance quite every producer will see the advantages of this core feature. “We really love the workflow of StudioOne since we first used it”, the J & B Project sums up.

“Everybody is talking about ‘intuitive’ music creation, but the PreSonus guys really do react to the basic needs of a creative mind in front of a computer!” studioone.presonus.com facebook.com/jbtrance soundcloud.com/jbtrance

Burning Mountain 20.-23.06.2013 – Zernez, Switzerland After last year’s edition was quite packed, the organisers are going to expand the festival considerably – in terms of space, infrastructure, and cultural programme.

Seems like you decided to expand the festival this year?

to offer besides Progressive and Psytrance.

True, we found a new place 4 times bigger than the last one. So everyone should find a nice spot to camp close to the action. But the whole infrastructure has been improved. We now have 4 times more toilets than last year, switched to Funktion One sound systems and improved the camping concept.

I think last year we got a bit overrun as the only big festival here in Switzerland. This year, things will be more organised and all services are included in the festival ticket: Free shuttle from the train station, free parking, free recognized drinking water, free workshops.

Some words for all the Psy travellers out there, please!

Also, you have a „participate“ section on your website...

Yes, we don‘t want spectators, we want participants. People can register for an art camp or installation.

We are encouraging artists to use the festival as a platform. This year, registration for art camps went up 400%. It took a while to get started, but now it seems like it‘s rolling.

Our venue is simply stunning! The Engadin is the highest inhabited valley in Europe and its lush green nature and the Alps have attracted travellers since ages. You can reach Zernez from Austria / Germany / Liechtenstein quite quickly via the Dreiländereck. If you come from Italy, it‘s via Bolzano. If you come from Zürich, you drive to Davos Vereina and take the train or drive via the Fluela pass. It‘s a 20 minute walk from the train station in Zernez. Hotels are available in town.

Parking on site. Campsite for vans available. Closest airport is Zurich. www.burningmountain.ch

Which DJs / live sets are you looking forward to?

Astrix, Neelix, Krama, Symphonix, Headroom, Zen Mechanics are surely worth listening. But there are many exciting new names on the line up, as well. We also just added a 3rd floor with Electro / Minimal beats to have something

Nachdem das Buring Mountain Festival im letzten Jahr als einziges großes Open Air der Schweiz offenbar etwas überrannt wurde, gibt es diesmal viele Neuerungen: Das Gelände ist 4x so groß, es gibt 4x so viele Toiletten, soundtechnisch wird nun auf Funktion One gesetzt.

Außerdem sind der Shuttle-Bus vom Bahnhof Zernez und Parken im Ticketpreis enthalten. Wer sich als Künstler auf dem Festival präsentieren möchte, ist ausdrücklich eingeladen, über die Homepage ein Art Camp oder eine Skulptur anzumelden. Die atemberaubende Postkartenidylle des Engadin, wo das Burning Mountain Festival stattfindet, ist mit dem Auto über Davos oder umweltfreundlich mit der Bahn zu erreichen.

Tangra Festival 20 - 24 June, Sveti Vrach, Bulgaria

Prepare to fractalise music-wise and get blasted at mind-bending Tangra Festival, sacred by name and nature This 3rd edition of Tangra, Europe‘s biggest festival secret, celebrating the full moon & solstice from 21 - 24 June in the midst of the stunning Bulgarian mountains will be a special one. It unites the strongest and most vibrant spirits from the psychedelic tribe, marking a powerful beginning for the festival season!

Sacred by name and by nature, Tangra derives its name from the philosophy of Tangrism: Tan (Universe), Nak (Human) and Ra (God).

The spiritual land of Sveti Vrach in the Bulgarian region of Sandisnksy gives the festival a special energy which takes place in the same location as its second edition: a wonderful 42-acre natural park, at the foothills of the jaw-dropping Pirin mountains, with clean air and spring water, and amongst cascading lakes, botanical gardens and more than 200 types of trees and plants. By night, the Bulgarian star-lit sky is so graphic and close you can almost touch it, literally making it a cosmic experience.

A sophisticated production features installation art by Quantum Tribe and Looney Moon Visions Gallery. Art comes to life at night with a series of mind-bending visual

shows. The Spiritual Garden defines the Zen of Tangra with opportunities to learn, practice and share spiritual knowledge.

This chilled, shady area will host lectures and a full-power raw food cafe. Prepare to fractalise music-wise as artists as Artmospheric, Vertigo, Looney Moon, Yggdrasil, Zenon and Parvati blast it from the main & alternative stages. You can camp and enjoy the hot springs or ‚glamp‘ it by going for a room in the historic, Sveti Vrach hotel. The third and final phase of tickets are available until 5 June at €70 while the price at the gate will be €90. www.tangrafest.com facebook.com/tangrafestival

Die dritte Tangra, Europas grösstes Festivalgeheimnis steigt an der selben Location wie im Jahr zuvor, in der bulgarischen Region Sandisnksy. Vollmond und Sonnenwende inmitten bulgarischer Berge. Tangra entstammt der Philosophie des Tangrismus: Tan (Universum), Nak (Mensch) und Ra (Gott).

Eine ausgeklügeltes Konzept bietet Installationskunst von Quantum Tribe und Loony Moon Visions Gallery, der Spiritual Garden das Zen das Tangra: spirituelles Wissen mit Gelegenheiten zum Lernen, Üben und Teilen. Bereitet euch zum Fraktalisieren zur Musik von Artmospheric, Vertigo, Looney Moon, Yggdrasil, Zenon und Parvati vom Main & Alternativefloor vor. Vor dem 5.Juni kosten die Tickets 70, danach 90 Euro.

Solstice

22.-24.06.2013 – Ruigoord, Netherlands – Party in the village of dreams Solstice festival is inevitably connected with Ruigoord, an alternative commune just outside Amsterdam. The 40th anniversary year of this place coincides with the 10th anniversary of the open air spectacle.

It was the 24th July 1973 when the pastor of Ruigoord locked his church for the last time and handed over the keys to the hippies who had been squatting the abandoned village for some time. This moment marks the beginning of a turbulent history about alternative culture, how it struggled, survived and eventually flowered in full bloom.

Interesting as an industrial area, Ruigoord saw a lot of conflict.

The peak was 1997 when 80 protesters stood their ground against 800 special police forces, dogs, and bulldozers.

They succeeded. In 2000 the European Court of Justice attributed a part of the village to the visionaries. Since then this magic place is officially a free port for alternative life in all its magnificence. Do you know the Amsterdam Balloon Company, the psychedelic travelling circus with the blue bus? Well, that’s only one example of Ruigoord culture!

Another example is Solstice festival. Besides the unusual venue in a village with a church, it is that squat-house vibe that makes it a one-of-a-kind experience. The fact that it is a festival held in a 40-year

old commune explains why there are infrastructures and possibilities barely seen on a temporary open air. “Personally I look forward to the return of Psymmetrix”, says Roland, co-founder of the Vrije Soul School Ruigoord (SOUL). “They performed here in 2006, for the first time out of shady squat parties in the UK underground.

And of course Jules doing Aphid Moon, Flooting Grooves’ ultra psychedelic sounds, Talamasca being the sweet desert...to name a few!” As Amsterdam is just around the corner, it’s a perfect opportunity to combine the festival with a visit in the beautiful metropolis. Friday, 21st June a poi/hoop/juggling gathering with workshops will be held.

Camping officially opens Saturday 10 AM. From Amsterdam

Sloterdijk train station, just hop on bus No. 82 towards Ijmuiden.

Once at the stop called Ruigoord Dorp, just follow the beats… www. ruigoord.nl Das 10-jährige Jubiläum des Solstice Festival fällt mit dem 40-jährigen Jubiläum der alternativen Kommune Ruigoord zusammen, wo das Open Air stattfindet. In der Siedlung vor den Toren von Amsterdam herrscht einzigartiges „Dorfbesetzer-Flair“.

Das eröffnet für ein Festival kreative Möglichkeiten und eine Infrastruktur, die es auf einem entlegenen Acker nicht gibt.

Freitag geht’s mit einem Poi- / Hoop- / Jonglier-Workshop los, am Samstag öffnet das Camping und die Party beginnt in der Kirche von Ruigoord. Aus Amsterdam Sloterdijk mit dem Bus Nr. 82 Richtung Ijmuiden zu erreichen.

S.U.N. Festival 24.-28.July – Hungary When Balazs Bubbles left the original OZORA team last year together with some other protagonists, he announced to organise another festival. This year S.U.N. is rising for the first time.

We never wanted to rush into something. Many people would have labelled us as the “Anti-OZORA” which of course is not the case. We also had to look for a land that would mesmerise the people. So we decided to take a year off and continued all the development we had started. The family that came together is made of the most creative, loving people which I am sure will mean a lot to the visitors of the first S.U.N. Festival. No amount of money can substitute the love and passion that is put into this project.

Tell us some notion about the festival location!

The land is hidden in a valley with a small lake, small streams within its forest and of course a main stage area that is surrounded by the mightiest of trees.

pic: location expedition

You took your time for the début of S.U.N. Festival…

Let’s talk about music.

We all grew up listening to Goa Trance when it still existed and we believe that this festival has to be about psychedelic music, psychedelic arts and culture, and nothing else. As much as we acknowledge great musicians in other genres we do not feel it‘s an appropriate addition in a purely psychedelic environment. So if people really want to see an unspoiled psychedelic festival - this is the one!

Is it true that people can vote on the line-up?

We have seen how festivals work, having done 8 editions of OZORA, and we always had great ideas but a lot of

them never became reality.

This one is finally ours, we make the decisions, we shape how things work. We wanted to have the people more involved. Why shall the organisers tell you what to listen to? You tell us instead!

So why not give the visitors a chance to shape the festival?

We came up with a voting system. It exists exclusively for S.U.N. presale ticket holders who can vote on their favourite act or DJ. We believe that it is the absolute minimum that we listen to the people and act upon it. www.sunfestival.info Read the full interview on mushroom-online.com Roberdo Raval

Summer Never Ends Festival 01.08.-04.08.2013 – Switzerland – At the peaks of festival experience The legendary Swiss mountain festival returns after a 1-year break. A chat with promoter Corinne.

Summer Never Ends 2011 has been a full success – why has there been no festival in 2012?

The main reason is that we just don’t want to do the same all over again; we want to surprise our visitors and to create a significantly more intense experience with each new festival.

So 2013 shall be a quantum leap, in terms of quantity but especially in terms of quality. We extended the workshops and live shows, also the decoration has been refined. There will be 2 new floors, 5 altogether, plus lots and lots of new details like a covered food area, internet, and a quiet camping area.

Alpine mountain views, line-up, atmosphere… I’ve heard a lot about Summer Never Ends. But I’ve seen the brightest eyes when the words “Kling & Freitag” were mentioned… ... oh yes, indeed! Actually a magic listening experience, it’s the brand of 2 of our sound systems. It’s hard to describe... pure expansion of consciousness without any drugs!

You as the promoter: Which artists are you looking forward to?

We have invited more than 150 artists, among them countless great talents like Grouch, Der Dritte Raum, Ajja & Cosmosis, Ace Ventura, Atmos, Talpa…

Another thing I’m really excited about are the 7 decoration teams. For instance there will be the Extradimensional Space Agency, known from OZORA, IV 3D and The Frogz. Android Jones will surely provide some visual highlights.

Lots of Trancers will be backpacking during the summer – any hints for those arriving without a car?

Switzerland has excellent public transport, of course always on time. There are amazing nature views along the railways, so travelling by day is an experience on its own! You need a

Ticket to Rona and back. On our website, there is more info. Also carpooling might be an option, for instance via goabase.de www.summerneverends.ch Obwohl das Festival 2011 ein buchstäblich voller Erfolg war, haben sich die Veranstalter letztes Jahr eine Auszeit gegönnt.

Offenbar um den Besuchern nicht nur immer wieder das Gleiche, sondern immer wieder ein neues, echtes Highlight zu präsentieren.

Dazu gehört ein erweitertes Workshop- und Live Show-Programm, eine überdachte Food Area, Internet, 2 neue Floors (insgesamt nun 5) und brandneue Deko, u.a. von der Extradimensional Space Agency, bekannt durch die OZORA. Viel wird auch über die Kling & Freitag Anlagen gesprochen, die ein einzigartig klares Hörerlebnis ermöglichen. Und das lohnt sich, denn unter den mehr als 150 musikalischen Gästen sind viele große Talente.

Lost Theory Festival 14-19th August 2013 – Croatia The Lost Theory festival crew is currently cooking the 2013 edition. The new chapter of this extraordinary adventure will again take place on the grassy banks of a gently flowing river. On their festival menu are only the best ingredients: sunny atmosphere, interesting workshops, wacky cinema, mad circus, spiritual healing, touristic excursions, ecological awareness, beautiful mountains but above all music, arts, and friendly people. A new feature this year will be the second stage hosted by two of the finest beat concepts: Roots of Minimal and Feestgedruis.

A selection of quality performers will please your greedy ears with blistering minimal and progressive tunes.

For the crew the festival is only the beginning of a long creative journey. They have a long term vision of building a self-sustainable community

on the festival grounds.

They envision building a place where people will live throughout the whole year, creating a unifying womb of creative forces. A unique spot on this planet that will provide permanent and temporary living for seekers and travellers, for people like you and them. Their concept comprises individual and group based activities, a music and art research centre, the promotion of adventure & ecotourism, a multidisciplinary event space, workshop and retreat facilities, and an agricultural & ecological study and fieldwork unit.

All these self sustaining concepts will be integrated with a maximum of ecological awareness and ethical values.

They happily invite you to be part of this integration of lost knowledge. Let the Lost Theory Festival be your first step in a quest towards a new

Die neue Ausgabe des Lost Theory Festivals wird 2013 erneut die grasbewachsenen Ufer des sanft fliessenden Flusses beglücken. Mit besten Zutaten wie sonniger Stimmung, lockenden Workshops, abgefahrenem Kino, verrücktem Zirkus, Spiritual Healing, Exkursionen, ökologischer Bewusstwerdung und wunderschönen Berge, aber vor allem Musik, Kunst und freundliche Menschen. Auch auf der zweitem Floor von Roots of Minimal und Feestgedruis werden gierige Ohren mit glühendem Minimal und Progressive auf ihre Kosten kommen. Das Festival ist nur ein erster Schritt auf dem Weg zu einer selbst-versorgenden Kommune, ein erster Schritt auf der Suche nach einem fröhlichen gemeinsamen Leben auf dem Gelände.

Momento Demeto Festival 21-25 August, Vrela Mreznice, Croatia Set in an idyllic location in the heart of Croatia, surrounded by crystal clear waters and lush green woodland, Momento Demeto Festival will leave a mark on the international Psytrance scene.

Everyone left last year’s successful first event full of praise and good feelings so word has spread fast and far of this festival.

Momento Demento aka MODEM has a simple vision: To present you with a powerful line up, both day and night, with carefully handpicked quality psychedelic music.

Only the best underground artists and djs that Psytrance has to offer are delivered. The MODEM crew know how to mingle well-known names and some of the newest musical gems from around the world, nestled between key players of the underground psychedelic scene.

This year’s location is only 4km from the bubbling spring source of the Mreznica River.

You will find many waterfalls and pools to cool yourself in which might be a welcome reprieve from the hot Croatian Sun. However, you may find yourself unable to leave the dance floor at all. For one it is shadowed by trees forming a natural auditorium, also the fully confirmed line up includes Grouch, EVP,

pic: MODEM festival location & night shot

Jahbo, Loose Connection, Dust and many more!

The MODEM crew left no detail unregarded and will see to it that your stay will be as comfortable as possible.

The festival will feature a Chillout and Visionary Art Gallery run by ‘Looney Moon’, compost toilets and specially made showers, immersive decoration and lights throughout the site, also good food and drink, and an impressive ‘line array’ sound system from highly experienced ‘Clear Sound’.

MODEM 2013 will surely be one of the highlights of this year. Tickets are on sale, until 1st June they are 70Euro. www.modemfestival.com

Hadra Trance Festival 22.-25.08.2013 – Lans-en-Vercors – France

Looking at the artwork of Hadra Trance Festival one might think: Well, another design based on a fairyland that has been spiced up with psychedelic details. However, as turns out in this case the fantastic mountain scenery displayed on the flyer is in fact a pretty realistic depiction of the venue. Also this place will indeed be spiced up with psychedelic culture, visual-wise and music-wise.

Quite a bit of South African flavour this year: Many musicians from the vibrant scene hotspot, a flyer design by StarSpine and the stunning decorations of ArteScape.

After Russia, Mexico and Croatia, South Africa is Hadra’s “sister scene” this year.

Another striking feature of the festival is its music concept. Quite obviously Hadra Festival is held by the same-named French record label. Browsing its release catalogue, it’s almost impossible to pinpoint a particular style - although all the music is clearly from the Psychedelic genre. Exactly this philosophy is reflected in the line-up.

There is the full-throttle party sound of Broken Toy and Hy-

A most colourful summer flower sprouts every year in the French Alps: Hadra Festival has a unique venue – and an extraordinarily rich music programme.

per Frequencies. There are the melodic departures of Protonica. There is the weightless Progressive groove of Carbon Based Life Forms, Aerospace and Golkonda, the perfect sound for sunlit hours. Besides a great variety of artists from the core of the Psy & Progressive genre, there is also lots of great music from the psychedelic periphery.

For instance the dope and danceable Dub Reggae of Soom T or deep and heady Dubstep tunes from Japan’s grandmaster Goth Trad. One exciting booking from the chilled out side of psychedelics is Sync24.

The first set of 500 tickets was sold within 25 minutes in February, but the advance

sale is still up and running.

From Grenoble, there will be a bus shuttle running to the nearby festival site. www.hadra.net In der malerischen Kulisse der französischen Alpen öffnet sich jeden Sommer eine besonders prächtige Blüte der psychedelischen Tanzkultur: Das Hadra Trance Festival zeichnet sich wie das gleichnamige Label durch eine einzigartige musikalische Vielseitigkeit aus. Neben haufenweise spannenden Künstlern aus den Bereichen Psy und Progressive gibt es auch jede Menge groovigen Tiefgang aus anderen Genres zu entdecken. Dieses Jahr wurde Südafrika als Partnerszene gewählt, deshalb reisen viele Künstler von dort an, u.a. auch das ArteScape Deko-Team.

mushroom 10 years ago Zusätzlich zum aktuellen mushroom kursiert gerade der neue Intershroom. In seiner 3. Ausgabe berichtet dieses Heft ausschließlich auf Englisch über das internationale Szenegeschehen *** NANO Records hat gerade ein neues Vinyl draußen, diesmal Rinkadink *** Die mushroom Redaktion ist aus Hamburg Eimsbüttel gerade in die Arnoldstraße in Hamburg-Ottensen umgezogen, weil die bisherigen Räumlichkeiten zu klein geworden sind *** Tobias Lampe, Gründer des prestigeträchtigen Labels Superstition: „WAV-Dateien sind viel zu groß und Ogg ist noch nicht weit genug verbreitet. Das MP3 Format ist das beste Format und wird es bleiben.“ *** In seinem Artikel über den gerade sehr populären UK Sound stellt Redakteur Sascha fest: „Interessant zu beobachten ist, dass die DJs der wichtigste Entscheidungsgrund sind, eine Party zu besuchen“ *** Im Sommer 2003 findet ein mushroom Open Air statt. Es bietet neben jeder Menge Musik auch 3 Workshops: Digital DJing, Visuals mit Lightmotiv und Wellness *** Im ProducingBereich ist das Thema ReWire gerade sehr aktuell Additionally to mushroom, the new Intershroom is just out. In its third edition, the English-only magazine reports about the global scene culture *** In his provocative article “The Flop Industry” Yaniv of Hadshot Records concludes: “In a scene that demands new sound every day – you can’t expect big sales from just a single product. In a scene where a DJ requires only ‘new’ sound to be able to play – you can’t expect to hear amazing innovative sets.

In a scene where all consumers look like pirate drug addicts – you can’t expect positive support by the media *** NANO Records just released a new vinyl, this time it’s Rinkadink *** Tobias Lampe, founder of the prestigious label Superstition Records: “WAV files are much too big and Ogg is not yet widespread enough. The MP3 format is and will still be the best format in our opinion *** In summer 2003 there is a mushroom festival. Besides lots of music it presents 3 workshops, about digital djing, visuals with Lightmotiv, and wellness *** The new ReWire technology is an exciting issue for all producers *** Iboga just announced the release of the highly anticipated debut albums by Phony Orphants and Antix *** mushroom magazine just moved to another office after the old one became too small

Kafkaesque: Bureaucracy blocks authorised magic mushroom study – British researcher Nutt calls regulations “totally inappropriate and harmful” Have you ever asked yourself just how magic mushrooms got their name? Because these mushrooms can work magic!

Obviously this fact has branded a name many companies would kill for. There is no magic car, no magic laptop and no magic phone for a start. The magic mushrooms‘ special power has been known since the beginning of man. Maybe man knew about this magic even earlier than he used cannabis and alcohol. So actually it comes as no surprise that modern research has found out about this magic...again, after decades of ignorance and repression. Anyway, in recent years many researchers have become more outspoken on the beneficial powers of the psychedelic ingredients of magic mushrooms with regard to medical treatment of people.

Small wonder, similar beneficial studies with LSD and MDMA to help people are also underway or to be done. But ignorance has not been overcome yet.

The forces of evil are still out there, now they camouflage as bureaucracy. The renowned English researcher David Nutt was granted £550,000 to study if psilocybin could be used to help depressed patients. Now saying that “the whole field is so bedevilled by primitive oldfashioned attitudes” he vents

frustration. Because despite findings that ingredients derived from magic mushrooms could really help treat people with severe depression by stopping patients‘ from dwelling on themselves and their own perceived inadequacies bureaucracy is successfully blocking the study‘s start.

Even for the necessary tiny amount of the drug, a few hundred euros worth, Nutt would have to pay a hundred fold that sum to some producer because of Class A drugs‘ regulations.

Which Nutt calls “totally inappropriate and harmful.“ Den Zauber der Zauberpilze schätzen die Menschen seit der Vorzeit. Daher überrascht es nicht, dass nach Jahrzehnten der Ignoranz und Repression auch die moderne Forschung die psychedelischen Zutaten der Psilos im Hinblick auf medizinische Behandlung zu schätzen lernt. Ähnliche Studien mit LSD und MDMA, um Menschen zu helfen, sind angedacht oder

sogar am laufen. Doch die Ignoranz ist nur halb besiegt, die dunklen Mächte zäh, die Bürokratie mauert. Der bekannte britische Forscher David Nutt bekam 550,000 Pfund, um die positiven Kräfte für Depressive zu nutzen. Aber ein kleine Menge der Pilze dafür zu erwerben, das blockiert die Bürokratie.

Nutt nennt das ‚absolut unangemessen und schädlich.“ guardian.co.uk/science/2013/apr/07/ magic-mushrooms-treatdepression
